David Sims The Atlantic It is especially impressive that Days of Future Past is a success; a film this gooey and complex, with such business-minded scope, should not feel like a real movie at all. Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Katey Rich Vanity Fair In an age when more and more movies just feel like stepping-stones toward the next, bigger things, is it so much to ask that it be a good movie all on its own? Jul 13, 2015 Full Review David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) I guess I am a sucker for these sort of time travel films, travelling back in time to change the course of history. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 2, 2015 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film While more action would of been ideal, there are some great character moments here that this franchise is known for. Rated: A- Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Effectively united some of the elements that X-Men fans had been waiting years to see, though doesn't quite due justice to the source material and squanders the good will of what X-Men: First Class earned the series. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It’s start is a bit jarring, the future Sentinels look pretty generic, and I could list a few other nitpicks. But in terms of story, storytelling, and sheer entertainment, the movie scores where it counts. Rated: 4/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
